Latest NSRC data

The National Survey of Research Commercialisation (NSRC) survey collects data on the research collaboration and commercialisation activities of Australia’s publicly funded research organisations. This includes universities, publicly funded research agencies and medical research institutes. The survey was undertaken on a biennial basis until it moved to an annual collection cycle in 2015. The last survey collection was conducted in 2016 to collect 2015 data.

The data collection comprises the survey data and companion data from other collections such as the CRC Management Data and IP Australia.

The 2015 survey population makeup included first time participation by Olivia Newton John Cancer Institute (an MRI).

The department acknowledges the traditional owners of the country throughout Australia and their continuing connection to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to them and their cultures and to the elders past and present.
